Watch them money whip Dabo.  He's starting to putter out at Clemson, might not get Bama, and Aggy is one last giant payday for him.

We'll hear again about a "sitting coach with a NC" or something.

I used to worry about this when pointing out that Billy Liucci is the embodiment of every reason they'll never be a championship program. That their entire fanbase is at fault because they'd rather pay that assclown a bunch of money to tell them how special and unique they are than to pay money to someone who will actually hold the program accountable.

But then I realized that I was worried about Texas A&M listening to and implementing advice received from Longhorns. Hahaha. No, we're free to continue pointing out how obvious their institutional problems are and they'll never do jack shit about it. Hell, the only ones who are open-minded enough to understand end up posting on Longhorn boards.

The leading figure on the A&M internet is a guy who has been telling them leading up to every season, without fail, for over two decades that:

1. Their players are more talented than Texas's players.
2. Their players are more skilled than Texas's players.
3. Their coaches are better gameday coaches than Texas's coaches.
4. Their coaches are better recruiters than Texas's coaches.
5. Their recruits are better prospects than Texas's recruits.

For over two decades he has said every single year that everything about their program is better than Texas, and yet they've accomplished jack shit compared to Texas. Not just during our great run in the 2000s, but they haven't even accomplished more than us since they joined the SEC. They won a Cotton Bowl. They beat Alabama. That's it. They haven't even accomplished more than Texas has during one of the dark eras of our program. But if you point out that he's been selling them a load of bullshit you're hated for being a 2%er then banned. Common sense says Liucci is either lying to them on purpose to make money off of them or he's the worst fucking football analyst of all time. Either way why in the hell are you giving him your money? But they don't want to hear that because it might mean they're not as special as their moms told them they are. So he will continue to rake it in.

There are a few other expense factors that need to be accounted for in some capacity. 
1) The assistants all have buyouts.
2) Buying out and hiring assistants from elsewhere requires money as well.
3) They have a payroll to meet with the roster.
4) They'll have a payroll to meet if they want to win in the portal.
5) They have a payroll to meet with their recruiting class.
That all adds up to another 8 digits.
I know the roster expense is over $4M, so if they want to retain a bunch of those guys, they'll need that.
If new coach is to win in the portal, he's going to need $2M+ given expected attrition.
They've got at least mid-6 figures committed to this current recruiting class. 
Petrino's buyout alone is likely easily into the 7 figures since he was a moneywhip hire in the first place.
ATM is going to need $40M minimum from its donor base to cover the full freight of all of the moving parts for firing Fisher if it happens after 2023. If they don't, next year's roster will look like something akin to the SMU post-death penalty rebuild.
On top of all of this, who the hell is going to want to come to that school at this point? It looks freaking cursed. They'd need someone trying to pull a Fisher and get out of a big job before the big job pushes them out violently, or they'd need to take a bet on an up and comer. So they won't be able to argue about a sure thing with the BMDs. Part of the support in getting Fisher and in funding the 2022 class was that the BMDs believed that the guy was a sure thing for a national title.

This is from the original so I'd expect the extension to be similar. 

I believe the extension is where they negotiated the buyout to be due in a lump sum within 60 days. I have seen a copy of it floating around this board on occasion.

If Texas rolls into the playoffs in Sark's third year a year prior to heading to the SEC and playing aggy again every year, on the heels of beating Bama at home, and aggy finishes 8-4 or worse in Jimbo's 6th year, combined with a top 3 class if we close on Baker, Wingo and Black, they will pay him to go away. No hesitation. 

Their delusional BMDs will not allow themselves to feel like they're going to fall behind us (once again, as always) when we are in the same conference.  They will pay the money, go on a big national search and find that they lucked were duped into hiring Jimbo in the first place because FSU wanted him gone and it is unlikely a similar situation will occur (a NC winning coach who their current program wants gone as the house of cards starts to crumble).

This is exactly where i've stood for a number of years as well. The single thing that A&M could do that would make me pause and think that they are figuring some things out would be detaching their brand from the fucktard known as Looch. But they won't, and so i will never even view them as a threat, that they basically let such a clownish person speak for and represent their program.

I'm going have to disagree with you there, amigo. No Longhorn needs to go dumpster diving. Have an exact replica made and bring it out after we beat them at Kyle field, our home away from home. Proclaim to the world that this is the original trophy gifted to Jimbo. Announce that this is the trophy that will not have a date amended until the aggies actually win a game against their big brothers.

After signing a 10-year, $75 million contract when he first came to College Station in December 2017, Fisher and the Aggies re-upped for a new 10-year, $94.95 million deal that took effect in 2022.  

So they almost did do a 15-year deal when including the extension of his original contract.  But they redid it for more money and the same sweetheart terms and conditions. 

Where is the Jethro Bodine Clampett picture?

Have Bobby give Jimbo a ride on the back of his bike?

Great minds think alike,

and fools seldom differ. 
 

My presence and post count on Surly prove unequivocally that I am in the latter category, thank you very much. Not sure what that says about you.

He sure wasn't hyping aggy in that delicious mailbag response that I quoted.  But, yeah, that comment about TexAgs is pretty embarrassing for him.  

Yep, my reading comprehension error.

However, I stand by the assertion that Mandel sucks just by association, if not his previous shitty takes on Texas.

This Stewart Mandel? Can't imagine why he keeps hyping Aggy.

“We at The Athletic know Aggies fans are fired up about Jimbo Fisher and the coming season,” The Athletic’s editor-in-chief for college football Stewart Mandel said. “We’ve long admired the quality of TexAgs’ coverage, and this partnership should be exciting for both sites’ subscribers.”

that lasted ~1 season and i think the last post there was in 2020?

Aggy hiring dabo? A sitting national championship coach at a program on a decline? What could go wrong?

[txhorns 2409]

Dabo  has a $64 million buyout.  There’s no way they can afford to hire him.

On top of all of this, who the hell is going to want to come to that school at this point?

Mel Tucker?

I bet good ol’ Jimbo would be willing to extend that contract to 15 years.  Probably without even a pay raise.  They should totally do that.  
 

With some possible chinks in Saban’s armor, Bama might come looking to money whip Jimbo pretty soon.

They can't afford the kind of high-end escort Jimbo can. He'd sniff out the ruse in a minute.

He has all their money. And the Aggie braintrust would fuck it up anyway. After all, they're the morons who ponied up in the first place.

I wonder what the penalty would be if the Aggies got caught trying to entrap Jimbo in order to invalidate the contract. Maybe it's some kind of conspiracy related to fraud?
